Thank u for being our extended pair of eyes and legs to see the world.
Thailand is so beautiful. It will appear on my travel list. Jayoe.
That looked so steep! Good workout day😆
And you can tell that doggo really liked you🐶
Hi Matt....welcome to Thailand...I'm jealous....you'll have a great time apart from the dogs. I cycled quite a bit in Thailand and was chased every day by dogs.....I bought a Dazer II ultrasonic device which 90% worked on dogs.....recommend it highly....from Amazon
Regards Koh Chang...its probably too late now but there are some gorgeous islands nearby as well. My other favourite islands in Thailand are Similian for diving / snorkeling., Koh Phayam (near Myanmar) fir relaxation, Koh Samet, Koh Jum, Koh Ngai....amongst others. Also if you follow the coast around the gulf of Thailand from Phetchiburi to Chumpon (Ferry to Koh Toa) there are some lovely places on the coast like Prachup Khiri Khan/ Ao Manao, Ban Krut, and Hin Hin but avoid highway 4 as much as possible.....its not fun to cycle on! In addition, once you get the ferry back from koh samui to Surat Thani you could always make a detour to Koh Sok national park.....lovely lovely.
Good luck ...keep pedaling.
Watch those dogs. So funny your friend said don't ride on the island it's really hard, Matt goes "hold my beer!"
Love the video. I spent 3-4 weeks in Ko Chang in 2017. Beautiful place and love the video recognise everywhere you’ve been so far! I know exactly the hills you faced and I can’t believe you cycled up them. It was even tough with 2 on a scooter!
Matt, I'm trying to catch up on all your vids. Started watching a month ago while researching trikes. Been catching up on everything since then. You have a ton of them! All good too!
Matthew, i have a 750w mid-drive paired up with my Rohloff 14-500 hub. I used a 30T narrow/wide chainring so my mid-drive wouldn't over heat on the long, steep climbs. It was the recommended internal hub because it is so robust and strong. I simply have to change my oil in the hub every couple thousand miles to insure long life.
Rohloff's are considered the most reliable internal hubs on the market. (they're German made of course) . So is Mercedes Benz.
And you know the HP Velotechnik FS scorpion is German quality also. I like German made machinery.. my last name is Krause.
Such a beautiful episode, holy shit!! And that is both because of the landscape and you!! Love to see how positive and happy you are now.
That doggo was adorable, and I am surprised to see the monkeys wander around like that!
That swim must've felt so great after that hot day.
The Asia trike adventures are still my favorites
Welcome to Thailand. I'm Jo from Thailand
I liked how you were laughing going up those steep hills. Can't believe it. I've finally caught up on your videos again. I'm sure i'll get behind soon enough.
Wow,what a ride! Good job
its a small back wheel, so the actual torque on the hub is less by a factor of 406/700.. almost half the torque as a big wheel
The bird songs at the start of your video (as you leaving the town in Trat) is piped music to attract Swift’s / swallows. The upper floors of the buildings are converted and used for the birds to nest. In the the country you will see what look like deserted buildings with no windows. Look more closely and you will find high tech security surrounding these buildings . They are called nesting houses. The nests of the Swift’s are harvested and sold mainly to China. Prices can fetch over $6000 / kg !!!!!
I know. I pass many of those buildings... I know them very well and have talked about them in the past. This was not that. This was real birds sound. Trust me. They were just saying good morning.
Love the Schlumpf drive!
Man I went on such a steep hill with my hpv gekko fx 20 that the front wheels actually left the ground and rolled the trike. Needless to say I get a little uneasy going up steep hills with it now.
There is a lovely restaurant just a bit further than where you stopped in the next town called Coconut Coffee - great Thai food :) Tambon Koh Chang Tai, Amphoe Ko Chang, Chang Wat Trat 23170
Your brave how easy is your trike to peddle it looks slower than a bike, what did you do in America whats your job and why are you travelling
You are now the benchmark proving what strain the mountain drive / rohloff combination can handle... people will say " it's fine, you won't break it.. watch Matt's video !! ..
hahaa... hope so.
The smile on your face doesn’t seem forced ... that’s nice to see ...
The last few vlogs you seemed to have a bit of a dark cloud over you .
Great vlog
Hmmmm. Not sure if I ever forced a smile for a vlog.... maybe it was internal
Maybe forced wasn’t the right choice of words ... you just seem to be enjoying yourself a bit more not being being chased by bandits or have to share sleeping quarters with multiple legged guests 😁
Hahah. Yea. Thailand is a bit more comfortable. That’s for sure. I’m sure it shows.
Great video wanted to ask you where did you purchase that extension rod for the GPS at
The smell? Who are you kidding. Been there done that.And, you are correct about good tarmac. Those roads in Kampuchea are shite.
When you finally get to Cork in Ireland in about 10 years time (!) we'll set you the challenge of riding up St Patrick's Hill - a 25% hill. A local extreme endurance cyclist rode it 100 times for charity, then the following year 150 times. Search for "Donncha Cutriss climbs St Patrick's Hill 100 times" on CZcams for my little video of it - which at one stage had me running backwards up the steepest part of the hill filming him! Not bad for the 65 year old I was then :)
You made going up those steep hills look easy! Who knew there’d be a warm ocean waiting to welcome you! If it’s in season, I hope you find some mango sticky rice! It’s so good! JaYoe!
Matt... how about 29inch wheels... set the frame higher...but still sitting back... must be faster
i like my center of balance to be lower.
Beautiful frog.
Hey Matt could you do your live streams on Saturdays instead of Sundays, some of us have to go early to bed.
Finally thailand vlog, my favourite country and im from malaysia LOL
Long vlogs are the one!
Hello Matt,
If happens for you to try the northeast state of India called Mizoram. Aizawl City is their capital. Month of March is the best to travel there as most of their festival called Chapchar Kut. Language spoken called Mizotawng and British english.
Hey matt, you've been cycling in Asia for quite a while, i hope you will come to Borneo and cycle here, and also promote Recumbent trike cycling here! It'svery rare to have recumbent trike here so why not promoting. Hope to see you some day, best of wish for your safety matt. 😊
id love to come there!
How much weight u carrying? I struggle uphills with 20kg
The bike drive would be the least of my concerns if it reduces stress on the knees. Bikes are easy to fix.
have been in korea? good to hear that~!
i cycled from Incheon to Busan and around Jeju... check out my videos.
👍
The asphalt almost scratched your head. It was that steep.
You sound kinda sick, Matt, you good?
I think so
TRAT
To keep off the dogs, find a nice Thai stick. (For some reason, my friend thinks this funny.)
Honestly, I think dragging your trike may not be as hard as riding on a steep hillside.
haha... nawww....
